Human be infected via ingestion oocyst and row or undercooked contaminated meat. The causative agent transforms to tissue cyst in the divers organs especially in eye and bring about O.T. The majorities of cases are asymptomatic but the protozoan can locate in the eye and create acute corioritinite. The most prevalent causative agent of corioritinite is toxoplasmosis and it is estimated that 35% of corioritinite cases in children and adult, attributed to toxoplasma gongii

Resultss: Ocular toxoplasmosis in the human manifests most commonly following congenital infection. Experimentally it is showed that 5.3% of the mice offspring going on to develop bilateral or unilateral cataracts. Lymphocytes and macrophages were seen to enter the eye and the presence of degraded photoreceptor segments within macrophage phagolysosomes was shown. Retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE), were also found to migrate, enter the eye and participate in phagocytosis.
